Spring Break Tanning Tips

You lucky spring breakers are returning to a different Lake Chelan. Snow has mostly melted, the sun is out, and a few brave flowers are poking their way through dusty patches of garden all over the mountains. While you may be glowing with sun-kissed, Cancun-skin now, it will inevitably fade just in time for spring in the northwest. Rather than start all over again during sundress season, maintain your spring break tan at Healthy Glow Tanning & Airbrush Salon!

You’ve heard of pre-tanning for vacation, but Chelan Valley's best tanning salon is offering a way to maintain your naturally beautiful tan well into summer. When you schedule a tan at Healthy Glow, you’ll enjoy state-of-the-art tanning beds. But the most important part of getting a tan is making it last! 

Here are a few tips for how to maintain your spring break tan with help from your Lake Chelan tanning salon.

Before:

• Shower, exfoliate, and moisturize with natural products to balance your skin tone before tanning.
• Remove all makeup, deodorants, perfumes, and other beauty products.
• Ask your Beach Bum tanning consultant about the best tanning accelerator or amplifier for your specific skin type and budget.

After:

• Ask about tanning extenders and moisturizers which will help prolong the life of your tan.

Their team of experienced tanning specialists and state-of-the-art equipment is gentle and extremely effective. Guard that spring break tan until summer this year at the best tanning salon in Chelan Valley. 

HOW TO THROW A SPRAY TAN PARTY AT YOUR HOME!

With St. Patrick’s Day, wedding season and summer around the corner, it is a great time to throw a spray tanning party. A spray tanning party is an excellent way to have all of your close friends over, drink wine, eat snacks and get a gorgeous, golden tan. Follow these steps to have a successful and fun spray tan party at your house.

1. Book a mobile spray tan technician
Contact Healthy Glow Tanning and arrange for a day and time. Let us know how many people you are expecting so you can figure out the exact time frame and if one technician is enough.

2. Send out invitations or an E-vite
Gather the addresses or email address of everyone that you want to invite to your spray tan party. Select a fun invitation and include all the details of the party, such as time, date, address and what to wear. Recommend that your guests wear loose fitting, dark clothing and read through the Before & After Care info. You can put this information on the invitation or tell them when they RSVP.

3. Set up a spray tanning area
Clear out a small area in your house and set it up to be the spray tan area. We recommend doing this the day before the party to make sure nothing comes up that day. Having a designated area makes sure that all airbrush tanning solution and supplies are confined and makes it seem more professional. Your mobile spray tan technician will bring a pop up tent so that nothing will get in your house. This will allow guests to feel comfortable and will save your floor from any solution over spray.

4. Make themed snacks and drinks
Sun, swim suit or beach decorated cupcakes and cookies get everyone in the mood for a tan! You can also make some great low calories drinks, like a skinny margarita or wine spritzer, to help everyone relax. Purchase small umbrellas for the drinks to remind your guests of the beach.

Have fun and make sure your guests feel comfortable at all times! Make it a day to remember by going above and beyond to treat it like a tropical getaway that results in a beautiful, bronze color. Take a picture once the color has developed, you and your guests will love having a photo of the flattering tans!

Tanning Benefits

Vitamin D - Humans make 90% of their vitamin D naturally from sunlight exposure - specifically, from UV B light. Humans spend less time in the sun today than any point in history, which is why more than 1 billion people worldwide are vitamin D deficient. Vitamin D sufficiency has emerged as one of the most important preventative factors in human health. Vitamin D deficiency has been linked to higher rates of many forms of cancer, as well as heart disease, osteoporosis, multiple sclerosis and many other conditions.

Sunlight is the best and only natural source of vitamin D.When you get your vitamin D from the sun, unlike dietary supplements, your body takes what it needs and de-metabolizes any extra. Exposure to any of our tanning beds with uv B light will produce 200x more vitamin D in a 10 minute session than one glass of milk. So get your daily vitamin D dose and feel good about your tan!

Look Good, Feel Great - Tanning will make you look good no matter your shape or size. Tanning also releases endorphins that trigger the brain that says "this feels great!" Build your confidence with a beautiful bronze tan, and show off the way you look! 

Tan In Moderation - It is always recommended to take the advice of one of our trained tanning consultants on how long you should stay in a tanning bed. This will help ensure that you are tanning according to your skin type and will help avoid overexposure.
